Lincoln -

Looks like there have been a change to the berkeleydb.pm Store module  
which force the 'create' bit to 0 when doing reindex_gfffiles . This  
means an empty DB cannot be created.

So I get these errors:
  -------------------- EXCEPTION --------------------
MSG: Couldn't tie: ../gff/indexes/features.bdb No such file or directory
STACK Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::berkeleydb::_open_databases /usr/ 
local/lib/perl5/Bio/DB/SeqFeature/Store/berkeleydb.pm:576

This stems from Line 374 of berkeleydb.pm in the redindex_gfffiles ?

371    warn "Reindexing GFF files...\n" if $self->verbose;
372   $self->_permissions(1,1);
373    $self->_close_databases();
374    $self->_open_databases(1,0);

*Could* be changed to this:
374    $self->_open_databases(1,1);


But I'm not sure do you want the CREATE bit always set to on when  
reindexing?  Maybe yes since the DB was typically erased beforehand  
whenever a reindex (or initial index) is applied?

Thanks,
